Sex/Porn Addiction
Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
The word 'addiction' for these may be debatable because they are not a substance, but they still have a strong neurological response that feels impossible to break on one's own. With addiction/ compulsion to sex, it's often really about connection to other people and finding/ seeking approval, trying to find one's self-worth by sexually connecting to others along with the need for the body's chemically produced 'high'. With porn compulsion it's typically the same but needing the 'high' created from porn, to deal with negative emotions. It also has roots in a person trying to feel accepted/ acceptable, based on an addict's deep-seated belief that most do not accept themselves. Sex and porn addicts have become dependent on the natural chemical high that the brain and body create, using it to move toward pleasure and move away from pain, to numb other underlying emotions, or to feel like they are enough. They must ask themselves, "What am I trying to numb or avoid or fulfill with the addiction?" Rapid Transformational Therapy can help change the core negative beliefs that a person has unconsciously formed about themselves because of their past experiences, and as they get identified and addressed, they can be interrupted and removed. New, healthy, empowering beliefs of being/ feeling enough, they are in control, they have or can create real and healthy connections with people etc, are put in their place, resulting in the elimination of the underlying need for the addiction at the subconscious level. Alongside the therapy is taking a look at the lifestyle and social connections of the individual, and providing support and implementing strategies to find new healthy habits and meaningful activities to replace the need and the urges for the dopamine/ chemical spike. It will involve trading an immediate high for less immediate gratification, and learning to handle stresses and emotions that may be triggers, but in doing so will prove to be much more worthwhile and helpful. Compassionate ongoing support after the recommended 3 session(s) will be available, along with the check-ins.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Shelia King
Counselor/Therapist, LPC, Certified Sex Addiction & Certified Multiple Addictions Therapist
I work with successful, driven men who are tired of the secrecy, shame, and loss of control that come with compulsive sexual behavior. Together, we work to uncover what’s really driving the patterns, replace them with clear, sustainable strategies, and build a life rooted in discipline, honesty, and self-respect.
I provide comprehensive assessments to determine the presence of addiction. When addiction is identified, treatment is guided by a structured 30‑Task Model that addresses the full scope of the addictive process.

Sex/Porn Addiction
Dina Hijazi
Psychologist, PhD, CSAT
Sexual addiction can feel overwhelming and isolating, often rooted in emotional pain or unresolved trauma. Whether you're actively struggling or in recovery, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore the patterns behind compulsive behaviors. Together, we’ll work on building healthier coping strategies, restoring control, and addressing the emotional and relational impacts. Using evidence-based approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention, my goal is to support lasting healing and personal growth. Recovery is possible, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Guy J Iacono
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use are among the most difficult things for people to talk about openly, and for that reason they often go unaddressed far longer than they should. What frequently begins as a private outlet gradually becomes something harder to control, something that takes up more time and mental energy than intended, and something that starts to affect relationships, self-image, and daily functioning in ways that are difficult to ignore.
For many men, the shame around these patterns runs deeper than the behavior itself. That shame tends to drive more secrecy, more isolation, and more of the same behavior. It is a cycle that willpower alone rarely breaks. Compulsive sexual behavior and pornography use are not moral failures. They are patterns with identifiable psychological roots, often connected to stress, anxiety, loneliness, avoidance, or a need for relief from something that feels unmanageable. Understanding what is driving the behavior is the first step toward actually changing it.
In our work together, we address the cycle honestly and without judgment. That means looking at what is fueling the behavior, what it is providing, and what it is costing. We build concrete strategies for managing urges, develop healthier patterns for coping with stress and emotion, and work on repairing the trust and intimacy that these patterns tend to erode over time.
My approach is direct, confidential, and grounded in over a decade of clinical experience working with men navigating complex behavioral patterns. You do not have to have this figured out before you reach out.
If this is something you have been managing alone and are ready to address, I invite you to schedule a free 15-minute consultation.
